Dear Passengers,
Dragi putnici,
OVO PROLEĆE NAM JE DONELO MNOGO UZ- BUDLJIVIH NOVITETA. Od prošlog meseca direk- tno spajamo Beograd sa dve atraktivne španske de- stinacije – obnovili smo letove do Madrida i prvi put uveli direktne letove za Valensiju, a upravo je maj ide- alno vreme da ih posetite. Do španske prestonice, jednog od najsunčanijih glavnih gradova u Evropi, letimo dva puta nedeljno, sredom i subotom. Glavne znamenitosti Madrida je najbolje obići peške, laganom šetnjom, dok se usput otkrivaju manje prometni trgovi i kvartovi, prave pa- uze u lokalnim tapas barovima i degustira autentični španski desert – ćurosi sa čokoladom. A ima li lepšeg meseca od maja za šetanje ulicama španske metropo- le i upijanje njene neodoljive energije koja je inspiri- sala i slavnog Almodovara? Ukoliko se odlučite za našu novu destinaciju – Va- lensiju, ka kojoj letimo dva puta nedeljno, imaćete pri- liku da uživate u brojnim znamenitostima, gastrono- miji i festivalima, ali i prelepim plažama osunčanim 300 dana godišnje. Ako volite more, lepo vreme, pro- vod i ukusnu hranu, Valensija je idealna za vas i uve- ren sam da ćete se sa putovanja vratiti oduševljeni. Osim novih destinacija, imamo još lepih vesti – uskoro nam se pridružuju i novi članovi kabinske posade. Prvi put posle dve godine pauze organizo- vali smo konkurs za prijem novih članova i sa ogro- mnim zadovoljstvom dočekali sve kandidate. Pred nama je izuzetno uzbudljiva i izazovna letnja sezo- na, uz veliki broj letova i novih destinacija, pa smo upravo iz tog razloga otvorili vrata novim kolegama. Uz ekspanziju mreže destinacija i širenje tima, lo- gičan korak je i proširenje flote. Naše najnovije poja- čanje, turbomlazni avion erbas A319, pomoći će nam da značajno unapredimo operativnu efikasnost i po- većamo kapacitete kako bismo odgovorili na potražnju, naročito tokom sezone godišnjih odmora. Početak čarter-sezone je još jedna od stavki ko- ju smo sa nestrpljenjem iščekivali. U saradnji sa na- šim partnerima, turističkim agencijama, omogućili smo vam veliki broj letova do popularnih letovališta iz Beograda i Niša, pa je već sada vreme da počnete da planirate godišnji odmor. Uz širok izbor izuzetno primamljivih morskih destinacija koje vam nudimo, imaćete mogućnost da odaberete odmor u skladu sa svojim željama.
THIS SPRING BRINGS EXCITING NEWS. As of last month, we now offer a direct service from Belgrade to two attractive destinations in Spain – having restored flights to Madrid and introduced flights to Valencia for the first time – and May is the ideal time to visit them. We fly to the Spanish capital, one of the sunniest capital cities in Europe, twice a week, on Wednesdays and Saturdays. Madrid’s main sights are best toured on foot, with a light walk that enables you to discover less crowded squares and quarters, find respite in local ta- pas bars and try an authentic Spanish dessert – chur- ros with chocolate. And no other month is as beautiful as May for walking the streets of this Spanish metrop- olis and taking in its irresistible energy, which also in- spired the famous Almodóvar. If you opt for our new destination, Valencia, which we are also flying to twice a week, you will have the op- portunity to enjoy a multitude of landmarks, dishes and festivals, as well as beautiful beaches that are bathed in sunshine for an average of 300 days a year. If you like the sea, summer weather, partying and delicious food, Valencia is ideal for you, and I’m certain you’ll return home from the trip feeling satisfied. In addition to our new destinations, we have more good news: we will soon be joined by new cabin crew members. That’s because we’ve organised a call for hiring new members for the first time after a two-year break, and we welcomed all candidates with great pleasure. A very exciting and extremely challenging summer sea- son is ahead of us, with a large number of flights and new destinations, which is precisely why we’ve opened our doors to new colleagues. With the expansion of our network of destinations and our team, also expanding our fleet was a logical step. Our latest reinforcement, a jet Airbus A319 air- craft, will help us improve our operating efficiency sig- nificantly and increase our capacities in response to de- mand, particularly during the summer holiday season. The start of the summer charter season is another thing that we’ve been looking forward to enthusiastical- ly. In cooperation with our partners, travel agencies, we offer you a large number of flights from Belgrade and Niš to popular summer destinations, so it’s already time to start planning your summer break. With our selection of very attractive coastal destinations, you will be able to pick the right holiday destination to suit your needs.

Zašto volite avione?
Why do you like planes?
U avionu zaboravim na svakodnevnicu / On a plane i forget about everyday life
Letenje sam zavoleo još kao dečak i taj osećaj pozitivne treme, iščekivanja i uzbuđenja nije me napustio do danas. Svako ukrcavanje u avion mi izmami osmeh jer me lete- nje opušta, zaboravim na svakodnevi- cu. Stres nestane čim se smestim na svoje mesto u avionu. Kada sam u mogućnosti, biram da sedim do prozora, pa mogu da vi- dim panoramu grada kojem se pri- bližavam, to su trenuci za pamćenje. Sa druge strane, razlog zbog kojeg uvek stavljam avion ispred bilo ko- jeg drugog transportnog sredstva je ogromna ušteda vremena, koje nam, čini mi se, svima manjka. Volim avione i zato što mogu da skoknem do mojih omiljenih centara mode kao što su Pariz,
I fell in love with flying back when I was a boy, and that feel- ing of positive jitters, anticipation and excitement has remained with me to this day. Every time I board a plane it makes me smile, because flying relax- es me; I forget everything about every- day life. The stress disappears as soon as I take my seat on the plane. When I have the option, I choose a window seat, so I can observe the pan- orama of the city I’m approaching, and those are memorable moments. On the other hand, the reason I always priori- tise travelling by plane over any other means of transport is the huge savings in terms of time, which we all seem to be lacking. I also like planes because I can jump to my favourite centres of fash- ion, such as Paris, Rome and New York, which provides us creative folk with the opportunity to en- joy new trends, and to do so live. What don’t you board a plane without? I haven’t boarded a plane for years without headphones, a tele- phone installed with music of my choosing, a magazine, sunglass- es and, of course, a smile, which is indispensable.
Bata Spasojević modni kreator fashion designer
Kada sam u mogućnosti, biram da sedim do prozora, pa mogu da vidim panoramu grada kojem se približavam, to su trenuci za pamćenje When I have the option, I choose a window seat, so I can observe the panorama of the city I’m approaching, and those are memorable moments Rim i Njujork, što nama kre- ativcima daje mogućnost da uživamo u novim trendovi- ma, i to uživo. Bez čega ne ulazite u avion? Godinama već u avion ne ulazim bez slušalica, tele- fona na kojem je muzika po mom izboru, časopisa, naoča- ra za sunce i naravno osmeha, koji je neizostavan.

The festival’s ma- in objective is to showcase the new aesthetics and themes of national dance, with an empha- sis on flamenco… flamenco Voices filled with anguish and pain, rhythms of happiness and joy… Flamenco is all that and so much more, always pa- ssionate and intense. The- se qualities offer the genre an expressiveness that moves all spectators, regardless of whe- re they’re from or whether they understand the language. Fla- menco makes feelings flow. Who hasn’t been moved by a dancer tapping her feet to the rhythm of a guitar or by a fla- menco singer’s passionate cry? And Madrid is the capital of flamenco, the place to be for anyone striving to succeed in this dance genre. The city offers a wide range of shows every day of the week, from grand performances in the ci- ty's theatres, to small song & dance recitals in tablaos or halls. Nowadays the tradition is carried on by tablaos (flamen- co bars), which provide oppor- tunities every evening to wat- ch flamenco at its purest while enjoying drinks or a fine meal. Here we present the three best flamenco bars in Madrid to vi- sit if you love this mesmerising dance… Corral de la Morería Established in 1956, this is one of the oldest functioning ta- blaos in Madrid. It has been vi- sited over the years by the li- kes of legendary actors Gary Cooper, Rita Hayworth, Charl- ton Heston, Natalie Portman and Richard Gere, former pre- sidents George H.W.

This welcoming, cheerful flamenco theatre-re- staurant serves dinner 45 mi-
nutes before the start of the show, with a menu that inclu- des a selection of mains and tapas that all include traditio- nal Spanish cuisine of the hig- hest quality. Torres Bermejas Torres Bermejas is one of the most famous tablaos in the Spanish capital.

Valencia is an ancient Spani- sh city, situated in the eastern part of the country on the Me- diterranean coast. The city has been conquered numero- us times over the centuries, falling into the hands of diffe- rent cultures: Roman, Muslim, Christian. Each period made its own mark on the city, and has left behind the amazing sights of Valencia that are ri- ghtfully a source of pride for the city. Here past and present intertwine, while the usual ur- ban hustle and bustle is mi- ssing. Medieval buildings, wi- th their secrets, paintings and unique architecture, stand si- de by side with modern works that inspire reverence. Beau- tiful beaches provide the per- fect setting to start or end yo- ur day. However, in addition to the many sights, we cho- se three for which the city is widely known - the Holy Grail, the paella and the silk lodge. Cathedral The beautiful Gothic Cathedral of the Virgin Mary is a symbol of the city and one of its ma- in attractions. It stands on a site once occupied by a tem- ple of the Roman goddess of the hunt Diana, which the Ro- mans erected in her hono- ur, and a later replaced with a mosque. It was in the 13th century that the Spaniards de- molished the mosque and la- id the foundations of today’s cathedral. That was in 1262, but construction lasted 94 ye- ars, while the cathedral was rebuilt several times over the following few hundred years. That’s why a mix of several ar- From paella to the Holy Grail
chitectural trends can be seen here. It is crowned by a tower which reaches a height of 65 metres. Enjoying views over the city from this height requi- res that you conquer the spiral staircase and its 207 steps. The western façade and Apostles’ Gate open onto the Square of the Plaza de la Vir- gen, a traditional spot for mee- ting and gathering. The oldest door, the Romanesque Gate, faces Almoina Square and the main door, known as the Iron Gate, overlooks Plaza de la Reina. Section of the building

Valensija je drevni španski grad smešten u istočnom de - lu zemlje, na mediteranskoj obali. Tokom vekova su je osvajali Rimljani, muslimani, hrišćani, a svako je razdoblje ostavilo svoj trag i neve - rovatne znamenitosti. Ov - de su prošlost i sadašnjost isprepletani, nema uobičaje - ne gradske vreve, a srednjo - vekovne građevine sa svojim tajnama, slikama i jedinstve - nom arhitekturom stoje rame uz rame sa modernim stvara - laštvom. Predivne plaže sa - vršene su za početak ili kraj dana u Valensiji. Ipak, osim mnogobojnih znamenitosti, izabrali smo tri po kojima je Od paelje do Svetog grala

houses the Museum which preserves paintings by talen- ted Renaissance artists that includes works by Francisco Goya. But the most interesting relic enticing tourists to visit this museum is a holy chalice that’s believed to be the real Holy Grail, which Christ drank from during the last supper. Archaeologists have confir - med that the goblet was crea- ted in the 1st century BC, whi- le the Vatican has officially recognised it. Paella Paella is a traditional Spani- sh dish that was first created in the Valencia region during the mid-19th century. Named after the specific shallow pan in which it is prepared, it is a commonly held belief in Valen- cia that this dish represents a symbol of their identity. It con- sists of white rice, green ve- getables, meat (either rabbit, chicken or duck), snails, beans and herbs and spices. Seafo- od can be used as an alterna- tive to meat. Saffron and oli- ve oil are also key ingredients. The pride for the country. Ri- ce forms the base of the dish,
combining perfectly with the other ingredients, but it is the essential addition of saffron and olive oil that makes the di- fference. The symbol of Spain, its culinary pride and joy, was born in Valencia, but today, say the Spaniards, you can find at least 300 recipes and every time it will taste great. Lonja de la Seda The Lonja de la Seda (Silk Ex- change) was built in the 15th century and became a symbol of the city’s golden age. Va- lencia was then the European hub of the silk trade and ho- me to several hundred gifted craftsmen. La Lonja de la Se- da is today included on the list of UNESCO World Heritage Si- tes and represents a stunning and well-preserved example of the Mediterranean Gothic style, with Renaissance décor. Reminiscent of a medieval castle, its stone façade has sharply angular shapes, whi- le there are also gargoyles, co- ats of arms and other illustra- tive details, as well as flawless window and door structures. You can find the Silk Exchan - ge on the Plaza del Mercado.

U aprilu je na kanalu Fox počelo prikazivanje prve dve sezone popularnog serijala nominovanog za dva Emija, čije ćemo 44 epizode gledati radnim danima od 20.00 h
It was in April that the FOX channel began premiering this popular series that’s been nominated for two Emmys, the first 44 episodes of which we’ll be watching weekdays from 8pm
Gotovo da se može za- ključiti kako Dejvida Bo- reanaza bar dve decenije ne- prestano gledamo na TV ekranu. Većina ga je poznaje iz serija Ba- fi, ubica vampira , Anđeo , Kosti , ali samo pravi obožavaoci znaju da je njegova prva uloga bila u seriji Bračne vode (Married... with chi- ldren) i da se pojavio u spotu za pesmu White Flag britanske pe- vačice Dajdo. On je jedan je od najzaposle- nijih ljudi na televiziji, glumac i producent koji projekte niže je- dan za drugim, staje ispred i iza kamere… Nakon završetka sni- manja čak 12 sezona serije Kosti posvetio se vojnoj dramskoj se- riji Televizije CBS Seal Team ili- ti Mornarički specijalci , u kojoj je Boreanaz glavni glumac i izvršni producent. Reč je o seriji koja pra- ti profesionalne i lične živote pri- padnika elitne jedinice mornarič- kih foka, prikazuje šta tačno rade specijalci, a šta rade videli smo i sami kada su nam zbog snimanja Kosti , a onda otkrili da se, snimajući aktuelne Mornaričke specijalce, i on zaljubio. U Beograd! Dejvid Boreanaz, glumac Jedva čekam da se vratim u Srbiju Upoznali smo ga kao zgodnog „vampira s dušom“ koji voli Bafi, zavoleli kao šarmantnog FBI agenta Silija Buta u seriji
Sam početak treće sezone, prve dve epizode, zaista se odvijaju u Beogradu, odnosno u Srbiji The start of the third season, the first two episodes, really take place in Belgrade, or in Serbia
zauzeli centar Beograda, spustili helikopter, izokrenuli nekoliko au- tomobila i izazvali opštu pomet- nju u gradu. Pritom i „pohapsili“ neke naše glumce, mada ćemo to tek gledati u trećoj sezoni… Po čemu pamtite bora- vak u Srbiji, kada ste kod nas snimali treću sezo- nu serije Mornarički spe- cijalci ? – Najviše po tome što još že- lim da se vratim u Srbiju. Sače- kali su nas predivni ljudi koji su se iskreno radovali što radimo u njihovoj zemlji. Pošto sam i pro- ducent ove serije, bio je veliki iza- zov da tokom 16 dana radim i iza kamere i ispred nje. Ipak, uspeo sam da svaki slobodan trenutak posvetim upoznavanju Beograda i šetnjama njegovim ulicama. Po- sle toliko godina video sam i juga , tu priču verovatno već znate. Bio je to moj prvi auto, koji su mi ro- ditelji kupili da se vozim do ško- le. Tokom snimanja u Beogradu jednog dana slučajno sam naišao
na jednog juga i oduševio se što ta kola i dalje postoje. Hoće li Beograd glumiti neki drugi grad ili se rad- nja serije zaista odvija u Srbiji? – Sam početak sezone, prve dve epizode, zaista se odvijaju u Beogradu, odnosno u Srbiji. Tu po scenariju radimo sa domaćim spe- cijalcima na suzbijanju terorističke pretnje čija bi aktivnost mogla da destabilizuje ceo svet. Radili smo sa mnogim domaćim glumcima. Uslovi za snimanje bili su fenome- nalni, retko gde naiđemo na tako dobre i kreativne stručnjake. Zai- sta smo se osećali maksimalno la- godno i spremno za rad u svakom trenutku. Kada je reč o samoj se- zoni, prve dve epizode su najek- splozivnije i najintrigantnije i one su uvod u naredne dve, koje su ta- kođe snimane u Srbiji, ali u njima Beograd glumi Pariz. Jeste li uspeli da otkrije- te sve naše male tajne? – Znam da je Srbija poznata
po sjajnoj hrani, ali sada sam prvi put imao priliku da se uverim u to lično. Veliki sam gurman, ali i lju- bitelj lokalnih specijaliteta. Volim da uživam u svim lokalnim ukusi- ma i aromama. Međutim, u vašoj zemlji me je oduševilo povrće tako bogatog ukusa da sam našem šefu kuhinje naložio da nam sve obro- ke pravi od organske i sveže hra- ne samo da bih mogao makar na- kratko da uživam u obrocima koji imaju ukus. Srbija me je podsetila na to da je hrana više od skupa vi- tamina i proteina koji nam služe kao gorivo. Ona ne pokreće samo naše telo već i našu dušu.

David Boreanaz, actor I can’t wait to return to Serbia We first met him as the handsome “vampire with a soul” who loved Buffy, then fell in love with him as charming FBI agent Seeley Booth in the series Bones, only to discover that he’d also fallen in love while shooting his latest series, SEAL Team, and that he’d actually fallen in love with Belgrade!
me što uvek bira prave lokacije za snimanje. Retko snimamo u studi- ju. Smatram da prava lokacija daje posebnu i specifičnu vizuelnu no- tu. Teško animacijom ili veštačkom scenografijom možete da dočarate pravi duh zemlje u kojoj se odvija radnja. Mi nikada nismo radili ta- ko. Jedna od ranijih sezona sni- mljena je u Portoriku. U Srbiji se baš pogodilo da su se svi naši za- htevi poklopili. Uz originalnu sce- nografiju dobili smo i kvalitetan kreativni tim, što nam je mnogo značilo sa profesionalne strane. Ima mnogo sličnih serija, po čemu se to Mornarički specijalci razlikuju? – Čini mi se baš po tom pristu- pu iz prve ruke. Ovo je ratna akcija i u prvom planu je vojska. Među- tim, akcenat nije toliko na akcio- nim scenama, koliko na isticanju pravog smisla vojničkog života. Duha vojske. Pri osmišljavanju epizoda ništa nismo prepusti- li slučaju. Kao konsultante ima- li smo prave vojne veterane. Oni su mi mnogo pomogli da nekim detaljima dam priči na verodostoj- nosti. Zanimljivo je da u seriji no- sim šlem jednog od tih veterana. Bez obzira na to što je mnogo te- ži od kacige koja se koristi na se- tu, ne bi mi palo na pamet da je zamenim. Upravo pomoću takvih sitnica držim negde na pameti šta dugujemo ljudima koji odlaze u borbu kako bismo mi ostali spa- vali mirno. Koji je bio najveći izazov sa kojim ste se susreli u seriji? – To je definitivno izazov ka- ko da sam sebi kao glumcu budem reditelj. Reč je o veoma zahtev- noj dužnosti. Potrebna je ogromna disciplina i samokontrola da sa- mi sebi ne date otkaz. (smeh) Za glumce je specifično to da ume- ju da budu pomalo tvrdoglavi i uvek se trude da kameru prila- gode sebi i svojoj ideji. Rediteljski posao i rediteljski zahtevi, među- tim, mnogo su jednostavniji. Je- dino što reditelj traži jeste dobar kadar. Ništa drugo ga ne zanima. Umeo sam da se posvađam sam
Slayer, or for his work on the se- ries Bones, but only his truly ador- ing fans know that his first role was in the series Married... with Chil- dren, and that he appeared in the music video for British singer Di- do’s song White Flag. One of the most engaged people on television, he’s an actor and pro- ducer whose projects roll out con- tinuously, one after another, with him standing both in front of and behind the camera… Following the end of shooting after a whopping 12 seasons of the show Bones, he ded- icated himself to CBS Television’s military drama series SEAL Team, in which he is both the lead actor and executive producer. This show serialises the professional and per- sonal lives of the most elite unit of the Navy SEALS, showing precise- ly what these special forces do, and we actually saw first-hand what they
do when they took over Belgrade city centre for the needs of shoot- ing, flying a helicopter low and over- turning several cars as they caused general commotion across the city. They also “arrested” some of our lo- cal actors, though we’ll only watch that happen in the third season. What do you remember about your time spent film- ing in Serbia for the third season of SEAL Team? - I mostly remember that I still want to go back to Serbia. We were welcomed by wonderful people, who were genuinely happy about us working in their country. As I’m also the producer of this series, it was a great challenge for me to work both behind and in front of the camera over the course of 16 days. I none- theless managed to devote every free moment I had to familiarising myself with Belgrade and walking its streets. After many years, I al- so saw a Yugo car. You probably al- ready know that story: that make was the first car I owned, which my parents bought me to drive myself to school. One day, during filming in Belgrade, I stumbled across a Yu- go and was thrilled to discover that those cars still exist. Will Belgrade represent some other city or is the story really set in Serbia? - The start of the season, the first two episodes, really take place in Belgrade, or in Serbia. In accord- ance with the screenplay, we work together with domestic special forces to tackle a terrorist threat that’s carrying out activities that could destabilise the entire world. We worked with a lot of local actors. The film shoot conditions were phe- nomenal, there are few places where we encounter such good and crea- tive experts. We really felt totally re- laxed and ready for work at any in- stant. When it comes to the season itself, those first two episodes are the most explosive and intriguing, and they’re an introduction to the next two episodes, which were al- so shot in Serbia, but for them Bel- grade portrays Paris. Did you manage to uncover

nim serijama. Posle 30 godina kako vam danas izgledaju ti prvi koraci? – Čini mi se da su na počet- ku bili veoma nespretni i trapavi. Kao neko geganje sa kamena na kamen, dok nisam došao na sigur- no tlo i pokucao na prava vrata. Bafi je bila moja velika ulaznica u svet televizije, ali mnogo vreme- na je prošlo dok mi se nije uka- zala ta prilika. Nekima se dogodi ranije, a ima i glumaca koji svoje životne uloge ostvare gotovo pred kraj karijere. Kada je o meni reč, našao sam se u pravo vreme na pravom mestu. I danas ništa ne bih menjao. U životu sam uvek igrao na sigurno. Rad i posveće- nost se uvek isplate. Sve ostalo je kockanje.
sa sobom, ali na kraju bismo nas dvojica uvek nekako pronašli kom- promis. Mada je bilo ekstremnih situacija. Recimo, uvek insistiram na originalnoj vojnoj opremi koja teži i po nekoliko desetina kilo- grama. U tim trenucima reditelj u meni kaže: „Dejvide, skini to sa sebe i obuci scensku garderobu, slomićeš kičmu i kolena. Među- tim, onaj drugi, glumac, odmah ućutka ovog prvog i šapne mi: „Sa- mo nastavi, nisi slabić“. Nažalost, tada je, ipak, reditelj bio u pravu. Posle deset koraka sapleo sam se, uganuo zglob i umalo iščašio oba kolena. Od tada takve scene ipak prepuštam statistima. Igrom slučaja vašu kari- jeru smo u Srbiji isprati- li gotovo u svim prethod-

Intervju / Interview
all of our little secrets? - I know that Serbia is renowned for its great food, but this was the first time I’d had an opportunity to confirm that for myself. I’m a great gourmet, but also a lover of local specialities. I like to enjoy all the local flavours and aromas. In your country, however, I was delighted with the vegetables, which were so tasty that I ordered our head chef to make all our meals from fresh, or- ganic food, just so that I could en- joy meals that have flavour, if on- ly briefly. Serbia reminded me that food is more than a collection of vi- tamins and proteins that serve us as fuel. It doesn’t only move our body, but also our soul. Why did you choose Ser- bia specifically to shoot the third season? - Our show is known for always selecting the right filming locations. We rarely shoot in a studio. To me, the right location provides a special and specific visual element. It’s diffi- cult to use animation and fake scen- ery to invoke the true spirit of the country where the action unfolds. We’ve never worked in that way at least. We shot one of the previous seasons in Puerto Rico. With Ser- bia, it just so happened that all our requirements aligned. Apart from an original setting, we also got a high-quality creative team, which meant a lot to us from the profes- sional aspect. There are many similar shows. What makes SEAL Team different? - I think it’s precisely that first-
hand approach. This is a military action drama and the soldiers are to the fore. However, the emphasis isn’t placed as much on the action scenes as it is on emphasising the true meaning of military life. The spirit of the military. When com- ing up with the episodes, we didn’t leave anything to chance. We had real military veterans as consult- ants. They helped me a lot when it came to making some details of the story more credible. Interest- ingly, I actually wear the helmet of one of those veterans in the show. Despite it being much heavier than the helmets normally used on set, I wouldn’t dream of replacing it. Lit- tle things like that actually help me to always keep somewhere in my mind the debt of gratitude we owe to people who go into battle so the rest of us can sleep peacefully. What was the greatest challenge you faced making this show? - That’s definitely the challenge, as an actor, of being your own di- rector. That’s a very demanding re- sponsibility. It requires huge dis- cipline and self-control not to fire yourself [laughs]. Actors are char- acteristic for sometimes being a bit stubborn and always trying to ad- just the camera to suit themselves and their ideas. The work and re- quirements of directing, howev- er, are much simpler. The director is only looking for one thing – a good shot. And nothing else in- terests him. I was capable of argu- ing with myself, but the two of us would ultimately always somehow
find a compromise. Though there were some extreme situations. For instance, I always insist on original military equipment that’s several pounds heavier. In those moments, the director within me says – ‘Da- vid, take that off and put on your stage kit, you’ll break your back and knees’. However, that other charac- ter, the actor, immediately hushes the first guy and whispers to me – ‘just keep going, you’re not a weak- ling’. Unfortunately, on that occa- sion the director was right. After ten steps, I tripped, sprained my wrist and nearly dislocated both knees. I’ve left those sorts of scenes to extras since then. It just so happens that we’ve followed your ca- reer in Serbia through al- most all of your previous shows. Today, 30 years in- to your career, how do you see those first steps? - I think I was initially very awkward and clumsy. Like some- one staggering from steppingstone to steppingstone until I reached sol- id ground and knocked on the right door. Buffy was my big ticket to the world of television, but it took a long time for that opportunity to arise. That break comes earlier for some, while there are actors who only get the roles of their life to- wards the end of their careers. In my case, I found myself in the right place at the right time. And there’s nothing that I’d change today. In my life, I’ve always played safe cards. Work and dedication always pay off. Everything else is a gamble.
Posle toliko godina video sam i juga, bio je to moj prvi auto koji su mi roditelji kupili da se vozim do škole. Oduševio sam se što ta kola i dalje postoje After many years, I also saw a Yugo car!
